FINALLY!!!
It has happened! We couldn’t be happier!!!!!!!!!!!
All of our neighbors ran outside as soon as the electoral count rose over 270. Everyone was banging on pots and pans, drinking champagne, and hollering. There were fireworks. Passing cars were honking. The solidarity was amazing!
This is what Barack Obama will bring to our country. This is what we’ve been waiting for. We can make it until January. Only 76 more days.
Here’s to eight great years!
OH MY GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still in shock in Seattle, where we joined random strangers screaming in the streets downtown last night. The world just became a brighter, better place.
Even here in suburban Pittsburgh, cars were honking in the streets! I myself was crying — which I don’t think I’ve EVER done as a result of an election — even in bitter disappointment and anger in 2000. Here’s to HOPE!!!
